QUESTION: "Green weddings" supposedly have a much smaller carbon footprint than regular weddings. But wouldn't these guests create roughly the same carbon dioxide wherever they are, doing something else? - (Melva Greene, Redding, Calif.)
ANSWER: All weddings have a larger footprint than other events their size, because many guests fly long distances to attend. Mostly, it's the air travel--meaning the big-time use of fuel--that generates so much heat. To really go green, couples could invite only local guests and beam the event to everyone else via webcam. Imagine: You could stay at home and watch the whole affair in your pajamas. (Marilyn, Parade Magazine) http://tinyurl.com/m4awre
